Verdict

The call

MyGames Database and Gamuroid both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of MyGames Database's written reviews are positive against 17% of Gamuroid's. MyGames Database also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Gamuroid's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
